That’s two dreadful puns from Tachoblog this week and both electricity orientated – sorry about that.

Anyway, following on from last year’s record UK LCV sales, Renault will be at this year’s CV Show at the NEC Birmingham, with no less than seven UK show debuts, including the fully-electric Kangoo Van Z.E. (Zero Emission).

If you’ve been following Tachoblog for any length of time, you’ll doubtless know that we’re eagerly anticipating the Volkswagen Amarok. So we’ll be off to the NEC in Birmingham (England) to see the first UK example of the double-cab Amarok pick-up.

The omens look good for next year’s Commercial Vehicle Show which takes place at Birmingham’s NEC from 12-14 April 2011, with the news that Tachoblog can (almost) exclusively reveal, that Mercedes-Benz has announced its intent to exhibit at the planned show next year, with all of its divisions represented, ie Mercedes-Benz Vans, Trucks, Approved Used Commercials, Econic, Unimog and Mitsubishi Fuso Canter.

To kick the week off, we begin with some videos for your enjoyment. Given where Tachoblog was last week, we thought you might like to see the excellent daily round ups of the show from RTTV and presented by none other than Biglorryblog.

As those of you that read yesterday’s post ‘Tachoblog At The CV Operators Show’ will already know, Tachoblog’s spending the next few days at the NEC in Birmingham for this year’s Commercial Vehicle Operator’s Show.
